The Allegation​

In November 2019, several months after Epstein's death, New Mexico conservative talk show host and former Albuquerque mayoral candidate Eddy Aragon received an anonymous email from an encrypted account. The sender claimed to be a former Zorro Ranch employee and alleged:

  • Two "foreign girls" died "by strangulation during rough, fetish sex"
  • Their bodies were buried "somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro"
  • The burials were carried out on "orders of Jeffrey and Madam G" — a reference to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
  • The email also alleged sexual abuse of minors at the ranch

Aragon forwarded the letter to the FBI immediately. He said the FBI assured him they would investigate, but he never heard back.

Location​

Zorro Ranch is a 7,560-acre property near Stanley, New Mexico, approximately 30 miles southeast of Santa Fe. Epstein owned the ranch from 1993 until his death in 2019. It is now owned by a Texas businessman.

Critical fact: Zorro Ranch is the only Epstein property that was never raided by the FBI. As of December 2019 — four months after Epstein's death — a federal prosecutor's email confirmed the ranch had not been searched, and there is no public evidence it was ever searched.

Evidence Destruction Concerns​

An FBI report dated July 19, 2019 documented a call from a retired New Mexico State Police officer who raised concerns about a barn on the property. The officer noted:

  • The barn had a chimney and a "sally port" — a secure entryway with multiple locked doors designed so only one can be opened at a time
  • The officer was concerned the property could contain an incinerator concealed within the barn
  • This raised the possibility that evidence could have been destroyed

Known Victims at Zorro Ranch​

Multiple survivors have testified under oath that sexual abuse occurred at the ranch:

  • Annie Farmer — Testified at Maxwell's 2021 trial that Maxwell gave her a nude massage at the ranch when she was 16, followed by an encounter with Epstein
  • "Jane" — Testified she was flown to New Mexico with Epstein and Maxwell, was sexually abused by Epstein at the ranch, and forced into "orgies"
  • Virginia Giuffre — Claimed she was trafficked to the ranch and "ordered to have sex with Epstein and other men there"; provided photographs of herself at the property
  • Chauntae Davis — Told CBS News in 2019 that she "was raped on Zorro Ranch at least twice"

2026 Investigation​

New Mexico Attorney General Investigation​

In February 2026, Attorney General Raúl Torrez announced the reopening of the criminal investigation into Zorro Ranch. The state had previously closed a prior investigation in 2019 at the request of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. Torrez stated that "revelations outlined in the previously sealed FBI files warrant further examination."

New Mexico Truth Commission​

The New Mexico House unanimously passed a measure creating a bipartisan "truth commission" — a four-member panel of state representatives with:

  • Subpoena power to compel testimony
  • $2 million budget to hire investigators, attorneys, and staff
  • Chairwoman: Rep. Andrea Romero (D-Santa Fe)
  • Required to produce an interim report by July 31, 2026 and a final report by year's end
  • Focus: "survivor-centered inquiry" into allegations of sexual abuse and sex trafficking at the ranch

People of Interest​

The commission has identified Brice and Karen Gordon, the ranch's managers for two decades who vanished after Epstein's death, as "people of interest" who could be subpoenaed.

Important Note​

The burial allegations remain unverified. The DOJ warned that some files contain "untrue and sensationalist claims" and include anonymous accusations that investigators did not corroborate, or in some cases determined to be false. However, the severity of the allegations, combined with the fact that the ranch was never searched by the FBI and multiple victims have testified to abuse there, led New Mexico to launch a formal $2 million investigation.
